just wondering if for auto version of swift which engine version I should get?

was looking for a manual SSS but kinda give up since MCO not much using car n only me in the family that knows how to drive a manual..
*
Be patient and keep looking. The zc31s AT is way slower than the manual just because of the obsolete 4sp AT hence not much different than the 1.5 AT. Otherwise fork out mich more to get the zc32s AT cuz at least it's 6sp and just slightly slower than the manual.

no it's blue. Was converted by the mechanic himself, the mileage was from the half cut like you said. I believe it's true mileage though, no reason for the mechanic to tweak it himself.
The car is even repainted, so the infamous original thin layer of paint issue is also resolved there.
*
I meant the meter can come from a different donor than the engine and gearbox, and surely not same with the chassis so that odo reading you need to take it with a pinch of salt.

QUOTE(dtna7 @ Aug 18 2021, 11:10 AM)
Yeap, I don't even consider the AT at all, might as well get a newer 1.5AT.
I was considering ZC32S MT too, but couldn't justify myself paying more than twice for it, where the main pulling factor is the 6th gear.
*
The newer one was 1.4 AT, not 1.5.

Yup my thoughts too why I settle for the zc31s instead of zc32s, some more it is for my son to learn driving so not worth giving him too nice car.

owh.. i just know it today.. coz last time i heard only new SSS can use RON95, old model cant.. so thanks for the info

Yeah that's the myth that forever has been around. I have personally tested and busted that myth, still able to do hard runs reaching 180-190kph repeatedly without issues or knocking using 95.

Tq for the reply but I read in paultan it says comes with EBD - Electronic Brake Distribution. It’s different then vsc?
*
Different. EBD is just to help balance out the braking force distribution during braking but not manage traction when you are on the gas. Most cars have EBD already but not necessarily VSC.

Noted. But Can we add on the ESP (electronic stability program) system ?cause I have seen swift sport with ESP especially the conversation units .

Hmm need to use ECU and sensors from Swift that have ESP.

Not mine … but I have seen from Facebook (cwtan) he converts units from 1.5 to 1.6(type2) 2008 models onwards that comes with keyless entry and digital aircond/ESP . ESP to me is important in a car, is like mandatory now days.

Anyone that uses swift sport original 2008 type 2 models onwards can confirms this ?
*
Yeah converted units means get a Japan halfcut that have the highest spec do got all these features, then swap it in. But if you buy cars like mine which doesn't have it, thrn I don't tjink can add

Hello swifties,
I’m looking for a recommendation for a repair shop for my swift within the subang Jaya area without cut throat prices. Where do you guys who live around the area service your cars? Thanks in advanced.
*
Go to Fineworks Garage in Sg. Buloh. They're reasonable price, not the cheapest but pretty good and dependable. They specialized in Swift also.

Indeed, I've been researching about the car for awhile in terms of maintenence and such. But what I wasn't manage to find is that the 1.5 body can be used for 1.4 body as well. Since theres many spareparts out there but it was for 1.5 ver

Cannot, totally different cars already (different chassis zc21s vs zc82s, different engine family m15a vs k14b).

got quoted 2.5k to paint the whole car (outside + touch up on some holes + price to pasang new bumper which i buy my self)

is this the normal price ? seems slightly expensive.
*
Yup, rather high but again all depends in workmanship quality and materials used. Do not go to too cheapest places but need to go to at least more trusted/looks reputable shops.

Are OEM Thai or Schmaco engine mounts ok for Swifts?

And is Toyota's T-IV transmission fluid ok instead of the recommended Mobil3309/Suzuki fluid? And how often should you change the transmission filter?
*
Not sure about engine mounts but for ATF you should stick with ori Suzuki ATF.

Suzuki Swift 1.4 change all 4 absorbers to GAB with Ori mountings quoted at shop 2k is it okay?

Anybody have experience changing absorber for this swift model?

Only want it to retain the standard comfort level

Currently very rough when going thru uneven roads n car feels floaty
*
Don't use Gab, bad quality. I had tried before on another car, regret buying it but it's damn cheap (only 1k for all 4). For 2k you can get ori KYB Japan instead if that GAB junk.

1k not including workmanship?

Can elaborate on it? Is it bad handling? I only use for city majority, highways maybe once every 2 months
*
With workmanship almost 1.2k.

No, not bad handling but noisy like broken absorbers when on rough roads! The body also is light, tube casing feels thin, and sounds more hollow. Just avoid at all cost, I guarantee you will regret!

Yeah Im surveying this workshop as well as they use kayaba and quoted price upfront thru whatsapp

How is ur experience with kyb abs? Durable and comfortable? Same like standard abs feeling?

Im preparing around 2.5k for all 4 abs and mountings, and rear bearings

Fineworks is recommended. His prices are not the cheapest but reasonable and his workmanship is very good. I changed almost all my suspension parts for one of my Swift Sports with him.
